Opportunity Summary:
The Northwest Region Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) competitive funding announcement to select one organization to run a regional TTAP Center serving American Indian tribal governments in the Northwest. The service area specifically covers Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FHWA expects to be actively involved with the recipient during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The overall purpose is practical and capacity-building: to help tribal governments strengthen their transportation programs by providing access to transportation technology, hands-on training, and targeted technical assistance that can be applied directly to planning, building, operating, and maintaining transportation systems.
At its core, the selected recipient would act as a hub for transferring transportation knowledge and proven practices to tribes in the region. This includes sharing technical and program information that mainly originates from FHWA, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state departments of transportation, tribal departments of transportation, tribal governments themselves, and other tribal transportation associations. Because TTAP is the tribal component of FHWA's broader Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), the Center is part of a national framework aimed at getting useful transportation expertise into the hands of local and tribal agencies. In day-to-day terms, that typically translates into organizing and delivering training sessions, workshops, webinars, and peer exchanges; responding to requests for one-on-one technical support; helping tribes understand and implement federal transportation requirements and best practices; and packaging relevant guidance in a way that is accessible and actionable for tribal transportation staff and leadership.
The funding details show this is a single-award opportunity with an expected total funding amount of about $1.41 million, with an award ceiling of $1.41 million and an award floor of $150,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available. The opportunity is categorized under transportation, and it is associated with CFDA 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement, which means tribes, universities, nonprofits, or other qualified organizations could potentially apply if they can credibly operate a regional technical assistance center and meet any specific requirements in the notice.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DTFH61-13-RA-00009 and the title "Northwest Region Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center." The announcement was posted May 30, 2013, with an application closing date of July 1, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to Rob Miller, Agreement Specialist at FHWA, reachable at 202-366-9167 or Rob.Miller@dot.gov.
